Best Tilapia Baked In Couscous Recipes

TILAPIA WITH ARTICHOKE, CAPER, AND CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE AND ISRAELI COUSCOUS

Steps:

• On a large plate, stir together the bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat dry, then coat on both sides with the breadcrumb mixture.
• In a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tilapia fillets and sauté, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer the tilapia to a plate and keep warm.
• In a medium saucepan over moderately high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then stir in the green onions. Cover and keep warm.
• While the couscous is standing, prepare the sauce: In the skillet that was used to cook the fish, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the red onion and sauté, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 2 more minutes. Add the artichokes and sauté, stirring occasionally, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and capers and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the reserved artichoke liquid, the vegetable stock, butter, and lemon juice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 more minutes.
• Divide the couscous between 2 plates and top each with a tilapia fillet. Spoon the sauce over the fish and couscous and serve immediately.
